Role Title
Head of Risk Management
Client Summary
Our client is an established international banking institution with a respected global footprint and an expanding presence in South Africa. Operating with a commitment to sustainable growth, prudent balance-sheet management, and high governance standards, they provide specialized commercial, corporate, and cross-border financial solutions. This role offers an exceptional opportunity to join a multinational banking environment that combines global strength with the agility of a localized branch structure.
Job Description
Are you an ambitious risk professional looking to take the defining next step in your career, or an experienced risk leader seeking broader enterprise-level influence?
As the Head of Risk Management, you will lead the bank's entire risk management architecture. Reporting directly to the Deputy General Manager, you will serve as a strategic partner to executive leadership, providing independent oversight on major business, capital, and balance-sheet decisions.
In this role, risk management is not simply about controls - it is a vital enabler of sustainable business expansion. You will guide an experienced team of risk professionals, steer key governance forums (including EXCO, ALCO, and the Credit Committee), and act as the principal liaison with local prudential regulators. If you are eager to shape enterprise risk strategy, drive regulatory programs like ICAAP and RDARR, and make a visible, long-term impact on a growing international franchise, this is the role for you.
